Measureand[edit]
College Metrology studies: for the various tool and gage applications, discussion about "Measureand" and "Measureands" has provided how to answer the inquiry, such as on the job. An example, if a Design Engineer or Engineering Technician should request the Measurement of a Sphere, on a Tactile CMM. This is most commonly used for defining what I am looking for when requesting a calibration.
An example would be if a person wanted a sphere calibrated, one would need to specify exactly what one should need to be measured:
1) sphericity within .000010 or less, depending on gauge, specific alloy, or materials.
2) measured at the equator two times spaced 90° minimal.
3) any other requirement desired or specified with supporting approved documentation.
